Mar 16, 2011.  When I last looked I got estimates for 2010 and 2011 of $2.30 and $2.41 for FFO, $1.10 and 1.19 for earnings, and $2.19 and $2.21 for Cash Flow.                                  
Mar 2009. InAug 2009, I got estimates for 2009 and 2010 of $1.35 and $1.25 for earnings, $2.32 and $2.25 for FFO and $2.27 and $2.30 for Cash Flow fr O.                                    
In 2009 statements, they now give FFO for 2008 as $2.34.  There is some $.38 earnings on discontinued business included in the $1.81 earnings.                                      
What is liked about this stock?  Long Term stable tenants and conservative management.  Their Cash Flow is likely to remain strong, even in a recession.                                    
May 9, 2009 AR 2008.  When I looked at this stock in Sep 2008, I got a FFO of $2.22 and Earnings of $1.18 for 2008.  The FFO came in as $2.27.                                      
I bought this stock in Sep 2006 and I have not made any money on it.  However, other Real Estate stocks have done no better since Sep 2006.  2006 was a high point for Real Estate stock.                              
AP 2006. In Fin.Post Card, analyst give a Hold rating at $31.34.  Revenue ok, but ESP is only slowly increasing. P/E is really high. Yield is not bad.  I can see why they do not expect the stock to increase                            
much this year (re P/E ratio).  I have only lost money on this since I bought it.  Perhaps not a good one to buy.  I will keep a eye on this. In CDN trading acct.                                    
2006.  Does not seem like a bad stock.  Return over last 5 years is good.  OPM is really down in 2005 and this does not look good.                                        
                                                               
How they make their money                                                          
Canadian Real Estate Investment Trust is an equity real estate trust, which acquires and owns a portfolio of income-producing properties. It specializes in the acquisition and ownership of community                             
shopping centres, industrial and office properties across Canada.  This company owns office, industrial, retail properties and some miscellaneous items such as apartment buildings.                              
This stock is rated STA-3M by DBRS.                                                          
                                                               
For most ratios, lower is better when looking for a good stock price.  However, there are exceptions such as for yield and asset/liability ratios and here you want a higher ratios to indicate a good stock price.                              
Also, for the Operational Profit Margin, a higher percentage is better.  With the OPM, you should only compare companies in similar industries.

Info on January 30th, 2011 distribution.                                                        
CREIT will complete a reorganization of an existing subsidiary holding trust (the "Reorganization") before December 31, 2010 in order to qualify as a "real estate investment trust" for purposes of the Income Tax                         
Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act"). As part of the Reorganization, on December 30, 2010, the assets of the holding trust will be transferred to CREIT Trust B, a subsidiary trust of CREIT created for the purpose of                           
the Reorganization and CREIT will make a distribution to its Unitholders in the form of units of CREIT Trust B ("Trust B Units"). Each Unitholder of CREIT will receive one Trust B Unit for every CREIT                             
Unit owned. The Trust B Units will then be immediately redeemed by CREIT Trust B and the redemption price will be paid by CREIT Trust B in the form of Units of CREIT. Following the redemption, CREIT                           
will consolidate its Units so that, following the Reorganization, each Unitholder of CREIT will own the same number of CREIT Units that such Unitholder owned immediately prior to the Reorganization.                            
                                                               
The Reorganization will not have any adverse Canadian income tax consequences for Unitholders of CREIT, except that withholding taxes will be exigible in respect of the distribution of Trust B Units to                             
Unitholders that are non-residents of Canada for purposes of the Tax Act. CREIT will fund and remit such withholding taxes to the Canada Revenue Agency on behalf of such non-resident Unitholders                             
(estimated to be less than $50,000 in aggregate).                                                        
                                                               
This Reorganization is required as a result of, and to comply with, the definition of a qualifying REIT as set out in the Tax Act, which was introduced as part of the Specified Investment Flow Through ("SIFT")                          
 legislation.
